"Water sends mountains into Fuchun, a river is picturesque and sunny in the evening", this is a poem by the Tang Dynasty poet Wu Rongge who sang the Fuchun River. Not long ago, I was invited to visit the Fuchun River again, this time the tour is the Tonglu section of the Fuchun River, "water sends mountains to welcome", it is really a painting tour.
Fuchun River, the middle reaches of the Qiantang River, up to Qiandao Lake and Anhui Huangshan Scenic Area, down to the beautiful Hangzhou West Lake, divided into two sections, from Meicheng to Tonglu for the upper section, called Tongjiang, from Tonglu via Fuyang to Wenjiayan for the lower section, usually called Fuchun River.
Scenery of Fuchun River
The beauty of the Fuchun River is simply breathtaking, and Tang Dynasty poets come together to swim and compete for poetry. Wu Rong used the four words "a river is picturesque"; Wei Zhuanglai said, "The Qiantang River is exhausted to Tonglu, the water and the mountains are not as good as the green paintings", JingSheng painted a trick; Mengjiao was even more pushed up, exclaiming, "The creation of the absolutely high place, The fuchun unique view", who can compare?!
Such a great view can not be without wine. The wine immortal Li Bai came, "The guest star is hidden, and the heart and floating clouds are idle." ChangYi Wan chengjun, also returned to Fuchun Mountain", and said, "Since the guest star resigned from the throne, Yuan Fei was too white to drunk Yangzhou", a good "drunken Yangzhou", is it Fuchun River or Slender West Lake? Li Taibai was already drunk.

There are mountains and water and fine wine, of course, not without paintings. There is a giant in the painting world who is late in coming, and a painting that shocks China has been thunderous for hundreds of years, which is the Yuan Dynasty painter Huang Gongwang. He lived in seclusion in Fuchun and spent seven years drawing a "Map of Fuchun Mountain Residence".
"Fuchun Mountain Residence Map" Huang Gongwang
At the beginning of the writing of "Fuchun Mountain Jutu", it was destined to be a legend. Because he was a man who never wanted to be a painter before the age of fifty, he only began to paint at the age of eighty-two! Huang Gongwang had a rough life, and served as a scribe in the Imperial Observatory, in charge of the matter of field grain. Implicated in a corruption case, he was imprisoned for ten years. After being released from prison, he turned around and became a Taoist priest, traveling back and forth to Wu Yuejian and making a living by selling paintings. During this period, Huang Gongwang was instructed by Zhao Mengfu to teach Dong Yuan and Ju Ran, and also practiced Li Cheng's Fa. He also practiced painting skills with Wang Meng, Ni Zhan, and Wu Zhen, and the four of them were also known as the "Yuan Si Da".

Mr. Gongwang spared no effort to travel on both sides of the Spring River, leading the victory of the mountains and mountains, watching the wonders of the smoke and clouds, and completing the heirloom treasure "Fuchun Mountain Residence Map". This long-scroll landscape is covered with brush and ink, lin luan is beautiful, extremely changeable, and exquisitely shows his pioneering "shallow method", which has become the pinnacle of Huang Gongwang's artistic creation.
The earliest collector of "Fuchun Mountain Jutu" was a useless Zen master, and during the Ming Dynasty, "Fuchun Mountain Jutu" was purchased at a high price by Shen Zhou, one of the "Four Great Masters of the Ming Dynasty", and later collected by Dong Qichang, a great calligrapher and painter of the Ming Dynasty. Dong Qichang commented: "This volume is a look, such as the treasure house, the virtual to the real return, claiming to be a day of blessing, the heart is free. Dong Qichang was forced to suffer in his later years, so he sent the "Fuchun Mountain Jutu" to his friend Wu Dake. Subsequently, the painting passed to Wu Hongyu's hands.

Wu Hongyu's obsession with "Fuchun Mountain Jutu" is unmatched, and he often does not think about tea and dinner, and copies and watches him. He deliberately changed the building with the famous painting "Fuchun Mountain Jutu" to "Fuchun Ju". In 1650, before his death, Wu Hongyu stared at the painting box next to the pillow and spat out a word "burn" to his family, to bury the haunting "Fuchun Mountain Jutu"! Fortunately, Wu Hongyu's nephew snatched the painting out of the fire.
Although the scroll was saved, it was also marked with fire. Later, the rare treasure "Fuchun Mountain Jutu" was divided into two. The first section is small, only 51.4 centimeters, because there is a scene of a mountain, a river, a hill and a ravine in the painting, named "Fuchun Mountain Jutu • Leftover Mountain Map", after several displacements, and finally became the "treasure of the town hall" of the Zhejiang Provincial Museum. The other section, 636.9 cm long, was framed to cover up the traces of fire, and the Dong Qichang inscription originally located at the end of the painting was deliberately cut down and placed at the beginning of the painting, which is the Qianlong Emperor's collection of "Fuchun Mountain Jutu Useless Teacher Volume", which is now stored in the National Palace Museum in Taipei.

Time flies, during the "two sessions" in 2010, Premier Wen Jiabao answered a reporter's question, hoping that the two paintings could be combined into one painting, "The painting is so, how can people be ashamed?" In June 2011, the "Special Exhibition of Huang Gongwang and "Fuchun Mountain Jutu" was opened at the Jinghua Palace of the National Palace Museum in Taipei, and the "Fuchun Mountain Jutu" crossed the strait and was successfully "integrated" in the National Palace Museum in Taipei.
The poems of the Tang Dynasty, the words of the Song Dynasty, the paintings of the Yuan Dynasty, and the legend of the Fuchun River never stop. I saw the deep-seated things revealed in addition to the pen and ink form of "Fuchun Mountain Residence Map" -- that is, brotherhood between the two sides of the strait, so I engraved "Fuchun Mountain Residence Map" on a bronze telephone card, hoping to completely present this ill-fated picture scroll in front of the world through every inch of the world.

In June 2011, on the day of the "Fuchun Mountain Jutu" was combined, I presented the bronze sculpture art call card of "Fuchun Mountain Jutu" to the commemorative collection of zhejiang provincial museum. Two years ago, I used innovative techniques such as high-temperature enamel copper to create the bronze mural of "Fuchun Mountain Jutu", which went abroad and was collected and displayed in the newly built Building One of the World Trade Center in the United States.
One more thing is even more memorable. The "Dance of Melting" cross-strait art exhibition, jointly organized by Taiwanese sculptor Mr. Yang Fengchen, has been exhibited in Hangzhou, Taipei and Kaohsiung, expressing brotherly feelings through art. In the exhibition, my work "Originally Born of the Same Root", on the bronze sculpture work in the shape of a pod, is engraved with "Fuchun Mountain Jutu".

The sculpture "Mutual Life and Solidarity", which Yang Fengchen and I co-created, is displayed in the middle of the hall of the new building of taiwan's Straits Exchange Foundation. Unfortunately, Mr. Yang passed away soon after, and his masterpiece, like a river of spring water, tells the endless love of brothers on both sides of the strait.

Everyone has their own "Fuchun River" in their hearts, let us come out of the picture of history, wander in the great mountains and rivers of the motherland, and look for our own "a fold of green mountains and a screen, a bay of clear water and a piano", which is another insight of my revisiting the Fuchun River.
